Chapter 1193

Not to mention, Selena also had a clear bias towards her elder son.

Selena had

ays been proud of her elder son. However, whenever someone asked her to talk about lan, her younger son, she

would laugh awkwardly. “Let’s continue talking about Eric. Ian is too introverted, hardly speaks to us. There’s

nothing much to say about him.”

But I heard he’s quite impressive in the military. Doesn’t Holden always praise him?”

Selena’s smile vanished instantly. “That’s all due to his good luck. I’m his mother. I know him best. He just tries to

copy his brother.”

These words were spoken in front of lan. Ryan was also present.

He wanted to refute her, but he didn’t know what to say.

He strongly felt the Raymond family’s favoritism. When the news of Eric’s death came, both Edith and Selena

fainted with grief.

After that, Selena spent a lot of time on lan, hoping he could become a genius like Eric.

lan was reluctant to leave the military, but Holden intervened, hoping he could take up the responsibility as the

Raymond family’s heir.

Selena kept a close watch on lan. She couldn’t bear to lose another son. For the first few years, every time she saw

lan’s face, she would cry, repeatedly murmuring her elder son.

“If Eric were still here, the Raymond Corporation would definitely be doing better.”

Who would have thought, Eric was actually still alive.

Ryan was sitting on the couch, struggling to find words.

It wasn’t until lan looked up and his gaze landed on him for a few seconds.

“Out of cash again?”

Ryan, a grown man, suddenly felt like crying.

But he couldn’t say those sentimental words to his cousin, so he just nodded, “Out of cash.”

Jan took out a card and placed it on the table.

“Have you been single lately?”

Ryan had always been afraid of him as a child, but now he calmly accepted the card.

“No, I havent dated anyone since my last breakup. My mom has been keeping a close eye on me lately.”

lan continued reading the files in his hand, his tone indifferent.

“Keep this money a secret from her.”

If Maureen found out, she would start suspecting lan had some other motives.

Ryan didn’t say anything more, he just sat quietly for a while.

Not for any other reason, he just wanted to spend some more time with his cousin.

lan was still reviewing the files, seriously making notes on them.

At that moment, Ryan truly hoped his cousin and Maja could work things out.

Because he liked Maja’s character. In some ways, both of them were very strong.

The most important thing was, his cousin liked her.

But with the interference of his elder cousin, things were uncertain.

Ryan stood up, pondering for some while.

Tan, I’ve been thinking about going somewhere else to gain some experience.

Maureen wanted him to work at the Raymond Corporation, get closer to lan, and then secure a prominent position.

But Ryan couldn’t bear the shame. He felt it was disgraceful to ask lan for such favors.

He knew that as long as he asked, lan would give it to him.

But he really didn’t want to

“A friend of mine recommended a guy to me. I’m planning to partner with him for some racing–related stuff,

maybe even buy a racing team and take part in competitions”

Ryan was very passionate about car racing, but his family didn’t approve.

Now he didnt care about anything else. He just wanted to escape from this suffocating environment and breathe

some fresh air at the racing track.

He hadn’t shared this decision with anyone before, but now he confidently told lan

“Tan, my mom doesn’t agree with me doing these things But I don’t want to follow the path she laid out for me

anymore. It’s boring and goes against my

conscience

Lan looked up, staring into his eyes.

Ryan became a bit embarrassed and scratched his neck

“I really want to go there. My mom will definitely cancel my card.”

“Finding something you love to do, that’s great.”

lan only said these words, but it made Ryan’s eyes light up.

Ryan strode over, placing both hands on the black desk.

“lan, don’t you think I’m good for nothing?”

“I don’t think so. You know about racing. You have a plan, just go for it.”

Ryan was so excited he didn’t know what to do. Actually, he was perturbed now He had been a spoiled brat for so

many years, never thinking about what he wanted to do in the future. He felt there was no need to work, and he

could have access to lots of money anyway. Why trouble himself?

At this moment of insecurity and confusion, his cousin was supporting him.

But when his cousin was troubled, who could be there for him?

Ryan started to feel distressed again.

When he left the office, Maureen was still waiting for him outside.

Maureen pulled him into the tea room, looking anxious.

“What did lan say to you? Ryan, we took the wrong side last time, and he must hold a grudge. You need to put in

good words for us when you’re with him. It would be best if you could secure a high position in the Raymond

Corporation. Now, nobody in the Raymond family dares to make demands to lan. If you could succeed, we…

“Enough!”

Ryan interrupted her, looking disappointed..
